How to Pose MALES who are NOT Models!

How to Pose MALES who are NOT Models!



You guys have been asking me for this video for ages and I’m so excited it’s finally here! Here are some tips on how I pose males who are not models for photoshoots – these posing tips are great for general portrait sessions, groom portraits at a wedding, engagement shoots and senior portraits. A big thank you to Karol for helping me create this, he did a great job for his very first photoshoot 😀

I used my L.A. Lightroom Preset to edit all the photos: As I wanted them to look quite natural with some high contrast.

Let me know if you want me to make a part 2!

    Hands in the pockets is not equal to Thumbs in the pocket. Don’t cut of limbs or fingers while posing.

    Natural photographer, the way you engage the victim to help them relax is genius..

    WOW, just WOW! NOW I see what a portrait photographer is trying to achieve/portray in their shots, I always used to think the chat (feedback) and results were always "dorky" (well, to me at least). This singular video (vs the internet) opened my eyes to what the photographer wants to see vs what the subject thinks they should see and how to coax the subject into submission without them knowing it! BRILLIANT!

    Whenever i am using my camera i am always having to adjust my settings but you just kept the same , also are you keeping the focus point in the same place, because it just looks like you are shooting and not adjusting. Maybe the light stayed constant but i am intrigued. Thanks for your videos , they are awesome

    When you cross your arms make sure to push your biceps up with your hands. Oldest trick in the book lol

    This guy's not a supermodel, but he's either very photogenic or you're REALLY good. Wish you could come to Fla to shoot me, lol

    If someone could crack the code of how I can come up with a relaxed but natural smile in a photo I would owe them a huge debt! I cop so much flack from the family….

    I LOVE how awkward he is. because my friends are like this too when I want to practise photography on them. in other videos they always take people that are used to be infront of a camera

    Love the video so helpful. Question though, 1/1000 seems high for portraits. The results look great but im wondering if it was purposeful ?
